- There are N people numbered from 1 to N around a round table. Everyone has a different number in their hands between 1 and N. We start with the first person and count the number in his hand and ask the related person to leave the table. If the number in the card odd, we count clockwise. if it is even, we count counterclockwise. Ensure that all people leave the table. The first person to leave the table is the first person. In the sample scenario, the first integer value in the table_in.txt file indicates the number of people around the table, it is 5. The value of the card in the first person’s hand is written on the next line, it is 3. The value of the second person’s card is written on the next line, it is 1.

Question 15 options: True False The Frequentist approach says that, in the long run, if we flip a coin a large number of times, we would expect an approximate 50-50 split of heads and tails. Question 16 options: True False Consider multiple trials of flipping a fair coin. As the number of trials decreases, the closer we get to an equal split of heads and tails. Question 17 options: True False The following would represent probability from the Frequentist approach: After rolling a six-sided die 300 times, we would expect to roll a 2 or a 3 about 33% of the time.
